Re: [Xen-users] migrate existing non-xen system to a VM?
Thanks, and...

great point!
/boot - raided volume --> xen setup on new machine
/swap --> drbd device on new machine, mounted in VM
/ --> drbd device on new machine, mounted in VM
/backup (another volume) -> drbd device mounted in VM
Are these partitions in the VM (domU), or on the Xen hosts themselves? If
these are the domU partitions, just using an imaging tool (Ghost, FOG,
PartImage, etc.) to copy the entire disk over to a virtual hard disk (LVM,
file-based, etc.).
partitions on the left are on the current (physical) system --> intended
partitions on the new VM (except for boot)
good idea....
